Advantages: Functions, style, ease of use.

Disadvantages: Price maybe!?

A few months I decided to purchase some scales so that I could keep track of my weight loss. I browsed a few online sites and found that there were loads to choose from, and also that they were more expensive than I had anticipated. The 'Weight Watchers Body Fat Precision Electronic Scale' appealed to me as it seemed to offer many more features than some of the others, for just a little higher price.

*DESCRIPTION*
The scales are usual size, silver plastic with LCD display. There are two sensor pads onto which you stand, sending a current through your body to analyse your body tissue - the LCD display will then tell you your: weight, BMI, body fat weight, body fat percentage and body water percentage.
*FEATURES*
*Ten user memory so that up to ten people can store their data and use the scales.
*Requires lithium battery which is included.
*It can give your weight in either stones, pounds or kilogrammes.
*Comes with feet to make use on carpets more accurate.
*PRICE AND AVAILABILITY*
Whilst looking to make my purchase, I found these available from Amazon, Argos and Tesco for between £30 and £35. I made my purchase from Ebay, where I found some at £24.99 plus £5 P&P. The scales arrived just a few days later.
*MY OPINION*
The trouble with monitoring your weight is that you may be happy to have lost a few pounds, but it may not have been fat that you lost. Thats why I am happy with these scales as I am much more interested to see if my body fat has reduced rather than my weight. The first time I stepped on these I was shocked at how much of my body weight was actually fat so am exercising a lot more now.
It is also really interesting to monitor the percentage of H2O in the body, motivating me to drink more water.
They are very simple to use and seem to be accurate, although I would reccommend using them at the same time every day as throughout the day the readings will fluctuate quite a bit.
I did think that the cost was a little high, however they come with a ten year garantee if you register the scales, so you won't have to replace them for a long time.
Overall, I am very happy with this purchase.

Summary: Monitor both body fat and weight at the same time.
